Title
Issue purchase order to Omnant Technologies, LLC for annual access to Omnant Forthsite Software, in an amount not to exceed $19,262.50, Accounts 101-27000-612820, 623800, Requisition 1625196
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Omnant Technologies, LLC for Omnant Forthsite software access for a one-year period. This purchase order will begin on December 1, 2024 and expire on November 30, 2025.
Omnant’s Forthsite software is used by the Engineering Construction Division to automate tracking and collecting of all reports and tests that come through Construction field crews. Forthsite allows quality assurance testing and document management within the Quality Control (QC) section, along with scheduling, pour notifications, and equipment inventory.
Omnant Technologies, LLC, the sole service provider of Omnant Forthsite software, has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as Omnant Technologies, LLC is the only source of supply for the services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Omnant Technologies, LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Omnant Technologies, LLC in an amount not to exceed $19,262.50.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-27000-612820, 623800.
Requested, Sean T. Kelly, Director of Information Technology, STK:BVS:tw
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for October 17, 2024
